OK. This will be done in next series.

OK, I move it to optional.

Ok.
In last revision, I put this properties as specific to this binding.
Wolfram proposed to make this generic, but it looks like this IP is the 
only one
needing such properties.

Wolfram, what would you advise?
If you still prefer to make this properties generics, in which file should I
document it? I don't see any common i2c binding document for now.

Ok. I will also add the "sleep" state in the optional definitions.

Thanks for the review Stephen.
